About This Lesson
After the end of the Civil War, many cities in the South and around the country erected statues honoring leaders of the Confederacy. Recently because of their ties to slavery and seccession, there has been a call for these statues and monuments to be removed or relocated. This lesson looks at how history is interpreted differently by various groups and in different time periods. Specifically, it has students answer the question "What should be done about statues honoring Confederate leaders on public lands?"
